5 Configuration
You can operate the gateway component as a master or a slave.
In "Sender" function mode, the gateway component sends data to
slaves and performs the function of a bus master (as for a DMX
lighting control desk, for example).
In "Receiver" function mode, the gateway component receives data
from a bus master and performs the function of an actuator (as for a
lighting control, for example).
You have 2 options for configuration of the gateway components:
– Make the setting via the rotary switches
– Making the settings via the partner gateway component
5.1 Supported Size of the Process Data
The gateway component for DMX supports process data up to a
length of 512 bytes per direction.
NOTICE
Bear in mind that the maximum length of the process data is always
determined by the fieldbus with the shorter data length.
Example:
CANopen supports 512 bytes
PROFIBUS supports 244 bytes per direction
In conjunction with PROFIBUS/ CANopen, this means that 488 bytes
are transmitted and updated cyclically.
